Hive Keychain Should Be the Default

in Proof of Brain2 years ago (edited)

Whenever you try to login to @proofofbrainblog (https://www.proofofbrain.blog) or the @ecency.app from the web, you are presented with a list of users that have previously logged in. That's fine. But when there are no accounts in the list to choose from, you have to manually click on Login with Hive keychain or use Hive signer.

I would bet my next meal that 100% of users who have Hive keychain installed are not pasting in their WIFs into Ecency when they log in. Indeed, if you do so, you only need to do it once per machine/browser because you only need to click your icon once you have logged in once.

Soon I will update proofofbrain.blog so that you will probably see this:

If you don't have Keychain installed, you will see by default the password login by default. If you do have Keychain installed you will almost always see this Login with Keychain window. You can always change from one to the other. Sometimes the Keychain extension is slow to load and you might end up in the password screen. In my tests this has never happened so far in my tests of this patch.

I intend to make a patch available to @ecency.app that does this. They will be free to use my patch if they see fit.

With my front end you also get to more settings in your preferences:

See whether a post has been self voted at a glance, whether they have a limit, and whether they did a 100% power up or 50/50 and what front end. You can turn these displays off if they bother you.

Also you can get a detailed view of every Hive Engine wallet. Showing delegations, recent transactions, and helping you find places to trade.

We have integrated break away community platforms using ecency. It is now super easy to spin up ur own community platform.

U can see the links here to do it.

We are currently rebuilding our log in and sign up systems on SPK network and threespeak. All open source for all to use.

On top of this we like how u have thought about how the login system should be here. We will raise it with our team

Nice stuff. I didn't find your links on how to make it a community site.

Basically the article says what I think about logins. Barring passwords and keys, the guys at PeakD have implemented the most ways to login than any other. #keychain, #HiveAuth, #PeakLock and #HiveSigner. I don't know anything about PeakLock. I have worked with only #Keychain and #HiveSigner in modifying Ecency's source.

It is easy to neglect logins because of the way on Proofofbrain.blog and others you need only to login once per browser with a proper method. Normally, I open the browser and I'm already logged in. That's the way it ought to be for personal computers. If using Hive at work, I'd log out and remove my account from the browser. It is important though. This is how newbies will experience each front end for the first time. We should make things as smooth as possible.

One thing I have observed about several video platforms, is that logging in makes you lose your place. After about five or ten minutes of watching something, I may decide to up-vote it. After noticing I am not logged in and logging in, I am taken to the home page of the site rather than the position I am on. Going back in some sites puts me in a logged out state. This is a really horrible experience. I'd request that they test for that periodically just to make sure that is not happening to the users.

Cool. One more thing. If you're going to add captchas, I'd rather pay a nickel worth of Hive dollars instead. So if you do that make paying a fee to login an alternative. I hate doing captchas.

This is great work.

I know @threespeak / @spknetwork is launching an ecency-based front-end community-building tool. I’m sure they will be interested in what you’re doing and what you’ve done already to improve on the standard ecency front-end.

A great example of how to log in!!
